They tried it with speed governors on cars. They do it with guns, crying out that the legal activities of the many need to be curtailed because of the illegal activities of the few. How many parents are afraid to punish their children because of their fear of government intervention? In my 30 years of adulthood, I've watched the country and the world slide into a he11 of government control of "legal" activities and I can't see it getting any better for my kids.  I can only see it getting worse. They won't even have to charge you with a crime to make your life interesting.  With the 4th amendment being eroded as much as they've been doing, the Secret Service will come visit you when you send your friend a scan of the interesting bill that you found today.  They'll spend 20 hours interrogating you and to prevent that from happening again, you won't scan any more bills.  A "victory" for the government because they've intimidated the law abiding.  However, the lawless won't care and will find ways around the strictures of the power elite no matter what safeguards are put in place.
